In the 90's famous song artist Tina Turner recorded, "What's Love Got To Do With It". This song became a huge hit, (one of many for Tina Turner) and can still be heard today on radio stations nationwide. A few years ago I was preparing to preach in our evening worship service and used this song as the title for my message. When I think of the song, "What's Love Got To Do With It", I am also reminded that for Jesus Christ, "LOVE" has everything to do with it. So much so that it was HIS Agape Love, (Agape meaning unconditional) that took Him to the cross to die, and yes, pay the penalty for our sinful life! What an amazing love! A love so amazing that our Lord would go through the most painful, suffering and humiliating death, known as the Crucifiction. Death by the cross was the most cruel of deaths, and was used for the most serious of crimes and the worst of criminals. Of course Jesus had not committed any crime, nor was he a criminal. However, He became such so that we could know His unconditional love for us and experience a personal relationship with Him now, and forever!
Today is Valentines Day, a day that we celebrate "LOVE". May we also celebrate the "LOVE" that God showed to us through His Son Jesus Christ. When you tell the one you love, "Happy Valentines Day", wish Jesus the same. Celebrate His love by telling Christ that you "LOVE" Him.
Very true Jimbo. Being a single man at the moment I dont have a lady friend so my I dont have to buy the gifts and such, and I can make sure that my main focus is on God.
